Inconsistent Knowledge Points & Pools
-
After coming across this thread and completing the last creature on my list for Syndesia, I started to wonder if there were any creatures or resources I was missing because I noticed that there are a great many of us who completed Arboreus (Syndesian Humans cannot complete Arboreus because they are unable to interact with the primal crystals), Syndesia, and Tutorial Island, but we have mismatched knowledge pools.
For example, there are two players with a knowledge pool of 557k, but there are some of us with varying knowledge pools of 556k—Meiki and I having a one-point difference despite doing all of the same things across the three landscapes as Wildfolk. In the aforementioned thread, we've confirmed that no one found a bugged spawns of primordials (Gale Wisps and Greater Gale Wisps) nor the missing five small plants, so they simply have not been spawning since the relaunch. I am also certain we've all discovered the point of interest to the right of the volcano on Terra before it was fixed.
For us to have inconsistent knowledge pools, there is something wrong with the formulas that is causing some serious rounding down/up to be done or we're missing knowledge points that we have earned. Here are screenshots of my Book of Knowledge:
If anybody else has finished Arboreus, Syndesia, and Tutorial Island and you're also curious as to why your knowledge pool doesn't match the others', please contribute your race and screenshots of your Book of Knowledge to this thread. (This includes Syndesian Humans because your knowledge pool may not match your fellow peers.)

I think this may be cause by the last enemy you kill to get to 100%.
The game counts everything in fractions, but rounds up to whole numbers for lists, leader boards, and other stuff.If you need just 4% to max out a creature and the next kill would get you exactly 4%, but instead you kill it in a group and only get 3.99%. The next kill to 100% somehow give you few extra KP.
More likely however, is that the game rounds up the % points in the Knowledge Book, so when you get to 99.99% it gives you the 100% message and stops further counting, but you're not really at 100%. And therefore lose a few KP overall.
If continues to count even though it shows 100%, there is a chance you still need to kill one extra creature. (Although with my limited testing I could not prove this, and I think it stops counting when you get the 100% message.)
I'm at #3 (Naja) in the KP leader board. And I know from testing if I just collect just 41 extra KP I would get to 557 on the leader board because that particular number gets rounded up.
